Warm kitchen

A modern farmhouse is what designer Lara Dutto had in mind when she remodeled her kitchen.

By removing the wall that closed off the room from the rest of the house, Dutto gained 5 feet of living space and united the layout.

After opening up the kitchen, Dutto devised a means of closing it off when needed. "From the kitchen window, you can see goats and a big barn up the hill," she says. "That inspired the sliding barn door."
